Head coach Butch Jones talked to the media on Wednesday and gave a definite answer on Reeves-Maybin's status so there really is no chance he plays this week like he did two weeks ago against Florida.
#Vols coach Butch Jones said LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin is OUT this week. Said will continue exploring his "short term" and "long term" options.

However, the Vols could be getting back linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr.
#Vols coach Butch Jones said LB Darrin Kirkland Jr. is "day to day." He's been practicing and have to make sure he's "game ready."

Despite Tennessee not really being able to stay healthy this season, the team is still undefeated and controlling its destiny in the SEC East.
